Let's talk about table sauces – those herby vinaigrettes that add instant personality to whatever's on your plate. When you're feeding a pescatarian and meat-eaters at the same table, you need something that hits the sweet spot for everyone.
Enter edamame chimichurri, my current table sauce obsession. I've been stocking up on dry roasted edamame, and they bring this incredible toasty crunch that reminds me of pistachios but with better macros (if you care about that sort of thing).
This sauce works on everything – grilled fish, roasted vegetables, halloumi, and yes, it's been all over some chicken too. The edamame adds texture and a nutty depth that regular chimichurri just can't deliver. Plus, it stays fresh in the fridge for days, so you can make it once and sauce everything all week.
